The chess event will take place in Moscow on 23-29 September 2024.

On behalf of the Chess Federation of Russia I am very pleased to invite your athletes to take part in chess competition during the first World Friendship Games scheduled for September 23–29, 2024.

Our Federation has strong chess traditions, a significant number of chess champions, a long history and unprecedented experience in chess development and promotion as well as chess education and organization of high-level chess events.

The chess competitions within the World Friendship Games are arranged over seven days, with one day for arrival, three days for rapid, two for blitz, and one day for departure. An official delegation includes three members: two players (a man and a woman) and one coach, and is provided with accommodation and meals.

The World Friendship Games are one of the large-scale Russian projects in the international sports arena and a multi-sport commercial tournament with a significant prize fund and medals for the winners made of pure gold. 

I am sure that the competitions will bring together the best players from all over the globe and the inaugural chess edition of the World Friendship Games will be remembered by fans for years to come.

We hope that your athletes will be a part of it, and we are looking forward to welcoming your delegation in Moscow!


With best regards,
